Murder on the Brechin Express - 4 August 2018

There’s been a murder! Who Dun it? The only way to solve the crime is with your help!

This event is not suitable for anyone under the age of 16.

We’re teaming up once again with Blitz Entertainment to bring you one unforgettable night.

Your evening starts at Brechin station where a gruesome murder has occurred. Just before the train departs, you will be introduced to all the suspects and given the background story. The Express for Bridge of Dun will then depart at 7pm.

On your journey, you will be given the chance to interrogate the suspects and obtain clues as to their motives. Why not get your detective skills flowing with a drink? Choose from a selection of reasonably priced drinks available from our on train bar!

After a 25 minute journey, the train will arrive at our countryside stop of Bridge of Dun. There, our buffet coach on Platform 3 will be serving a finger buffet along with hot teas and coffees. Light snacks and other drinks will also be available for sale at the counter.

The train will then depart Bridge of Dun just after 8.30pm, arriving at Brechin between 9.00pm and 9.30pm. Upon arriving back at Brechin station, you will be ushered from the station to the local church hall where the murderer will be revealed and the winner announced.

Doors open 6:00pm. Final entry is 6.30pm for 6.45pm start – please arrive promptly as the train will not wait! Estimated finish time is between 10.00pm and 10.30pm.
